The City of Alexandria has begun mailing applications and certifications for the City’s Tax Relief Programs for the Elderly and/or Totally and Permanently Disabled to all previous participants and those who have requested applications. If you are at least 65 years of age or permanently and totally disabled by November 15, 2011, you may qualify for a full or partial exemption from and/or deferral of your 2011 real estate taxes and/or an exemption from your 2011 personal property taxes on one vehicle.

Please note that qualification in a previous year does not guarantee eligibility for the current year. If a participant’s household income or assets have risen since last year, he or she may become ineligible or may be eligible only for a smaller exemption than last year.
